The Sacred Spring Chapter 25: The Dragon Emerges from the Water (2)

- Alright, you, let's not laugh at fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps. I'll tell you the truth,-I took out the map and the ring from my bosom,-The Taoist was very careful when he made the map back then, and recorded the map and the coordinates in these two items, the map was empty of the mountains and rivers around the temple, and the coordinates were engraved on the ring. It's like drawings and compasses, you can't do without one. We had come out of the Marik Lair and had nearly strayed from our original route. If you want to catch up with the bamboo pole team in the later stage, you must cross the opposite bank from here, that is, in the middle of this rapids under our feet, to have a chance to overtake them. Otherwise, if you go north along the riverbank, you will have at least three or four days to reach the end-

The fat man looked down at the turbulent flow at the end of the woods and sighed: "Today we went down to look for the elixir, we have already seen the power of the Amazon River, we don't even have the strength to swim to the center of the river, not to mention that we have to carry the wounded to cross the river with the wounded below-

Four Eyes thought of a solution: "Then, how about making a raft?" There's no shortage of wood here, and we're handy with the equipment in hand-

I said, "If it were that simple, I would have done it a long time ago." From chopping wood to tying rafts, you don't have to waste any time, when you read a novel, half a page of work is gone. The raft is time-consuming, and it's not safe, so we have to find another way-

Four Eyes said: "Then let's figure out a way together, it's better for three people to brainstorm together than for you to be the shopkeeper and hold your own stuffy donkey eggs-The fat man smiled evilly: "Barrister, you don't understand, it's not a donkey egg, it's a daughter-in-law-

I slapped him on the head: "I'm talking nonsense all day long, and I'm not afraid that God will take you away with a thunderbolt!" As he spoke, a blinding light flashed in the sky, turning the sky white in all directions, and the thunder of the -boom followed. The fat man exclaimed with his mouth wide open: "**, Lao Hu, you are so fucking awesome." Say what, what's coming, it's time to catch up**-

The four eyes looked at the purple thunder that kept flashing, and panicked: "Quick, quickly beckon everyone to take shelter from the rain." Storms in the jungle aren't fun-

The Yama River Basin is located in the equatorial low pressure zone, and the trade winds gather near the equator, converge and rise, and the water vapor contained in it is easy to form clouds and cause rain. There are often torrential rains, and a torrential rain is often accompanied by a fierce hurricane, whether you are a century-old tree or a thousand-year-old temple, you will be uprooted. Our treehouse is built on a canopy of trees, which is simply a natural target to attract rain. I put on my cloak and asked the fat man and the four eyes to separate their heads to call Wang Shao and the bald scoop, but as soon as the three of them got up, a terrible wail came from the treehouse of the mask chief.

I was shocked, thinking that I was such a big person, and I was afraid that the thunder would not make it. Then the bald figure came out of the treehouse at an incredible speed like lightning in the sky, carrying the chief on his shoulders, and his face was pale: "Run, there are spiders-

Almost in the blink of an eye, a black torrent erupted down the trees from our canopy-built hut. At first glance, I almost thought that the river water was mixed with sludge and poured up. The torrent of Black One quickly swallowed the treehouse clean. A handful of black streams rushed up the branches and swooped down on us. The fat man jumped to his feet and shouted, "**, so many spiders. Hairy, sloppy, quick, trampling-

Can't step on it! -Four-Eyes waved his hand at him in horror, but unfortunately it was too late, and the tiny long-legged spider was stamped to death by the fat man.

I put a torch against the trunk of the tree to stop the spiders from coming forward, and asked the four eyes why they couldn't step on it, and before I could finish speaking, the fat man suddenly began to undress, and shouted as he took it off: "What is it, it hurts, it hurts too much!" -I looked up and saw that small black dots appeared on the fat man's waist as if he had been burned by something.

The bald lady carried the chief and said, "The things in the forest would rather be hard to deal with the big ones than to the small ones." The smaller the more venomous, these are the fine-legged sulfate spiders endemic to the Amazon jungle-

Just listening to the words - sulfuric acid - is enough to make people rash, the fat man and I slapped the back and wanted to cry without tears: "What's the matter, this spider still spits sulfuric acid?" ――

After death, they secrete a special substance, which is basically similar in chemical composition to sulfuric acid, and is an acidic and highly corrosive fluid. And these spiders come out in groups to feed, and once attacked, they will bite each other and release sulfuric acid to intimidate their opponents-Bald said, -I've seen the power of thin-legged sulfuric acid spiders before, and a group of spiders with so many palms can corrode a half-sized sheep, which is amazing-

Wang Qingzheng didn't bother to listen to his bodyguard's lecture on popular science, so he picked up his luggage and ran down the tree with a smoke. I said to everyone, "I'm afraid it's raining that they will come out of the ground and gather on a high place to avoid the water." We have taken over the nest and robbed them of their refuge. Without further ado, it's better to get out of these canopy trees quickly, it will rain for a while, and I don't know how many spiders will climb up-

The fat man had already climbed the branches and ran to the ground, and he gasped: "First I was dragged away by the spider spirit in the river, and now I am chased by the little spider spirit all over the forest, and our old face is lost." Little Wang Ba, you should climb faster, the little spider spirit is about to run into my hair nest-

I asked the bald ladle to take the chief down the tree first, and I stayed behind to cushion everyone to buy some precious time. Unexpectedly, the black torrent seemed to recognize the injured soft persimmon, and did not dare to touch the torch in my hand, but bypassed me and ran straight to the bald scoop. The spider swarm was like a black waterfall, rushing forward in the wind and rain, and soon surrounded the whole big tree, and the trunk was full of black small-legged spiders, and our back road was blocked, and there was almost no place to stay, and the bald lady carried the unconscious chief and said to me: "If we continue like this, we will die, and we can only jump-

I glanced at the fat man and the four eyes under the big tree, they had landed safely and were waving at us, but the wind and rain were too great for them to hear a word of their shouting. I said, "The top of the canopy is about 10 meters above the ground, and jumping from this height is no different from suicide." We still have a wounded man, it's too risky-

The bald scoop and I were back to back, protecting the chief in the middle, and the two of them held torches and kept waving them at the trees, trying to scare off the spiders that stood in their way, but the wind and rain gradually increased, and the torches in our hands grew smaller and smaller, and finally became a small flame swaying in the wind-

The torches didn't last long, and once they were extinguished, they would surely come up in swarm—the bald paused for a moment, looked at the unconscious chieftain, and gave me a look full of meaning.

I was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "No! We can't use him as a target! -
